RAYNALD (THOMAS), printer and physician in London, must have begun to work some time before 1540 though nothing printed by him before that date is known. In the Archives of the City of London is a deposition dated August 20th, 1540, made by Thomas Mannyng { MANNYNG, Thomas ‹ LBT 30056 › }, John Borrell { BORRELL, John ‹ LBT 28431 › } and John Day { DAY, John (1522 - 1584) ‹ LBT 07316 › }, late servants to Thomas Reynoldes printer late dwelling at "Hallywell nere unto London," relative to some property belonging to the printer. [Bibl. Soc. Trans., VI, 20-22.]
In 1540 appeared a book entitled The birthe of mankynde printed by T.R and in 1545 was issued a new edition, "newly set furth by Thomas Raynold phisition." In 1548 he was definitely settled as a printer in St. Andrew's Parish, in the Wardrobe, and besides printing alone joined sometimes with Anthony Kitson { KITSON, Anthony ( - 1578) ‹ LBT 00130 › } or William Hill { HILL, William ‹ LBT 07740 › }. In 1549 he moved to the sign of the Star in St. Paul's Churchyard where he printed on steadily to 1552 when he issued his last edition of The birth of mankind. In 1555 an edition of the Sarum Processionale was printed with the initials T.R which is ascribed to him, but it is worth noticing that in 1553 the Star in St. Paul's Churchyard was occupied by Roger Madeley { MADELEY, Roger ‹ LBT 30055 › }.
Raynald printed altogether about thirty books and most probably died before the incorporation of the Stationers' Company as his name is not found in their charter. [D.N.B.]
